I think you have the wrong idea of who is mean. Treason, corruption, starting wars, and say, etc… is mean.
I agree with you Nicholas re: Joe but no need to be mean about it.
Joe
I do see why you step into this world from time to time, to get out of the chaos and confusion in your world, (which you fail to recognize).
Okay, you have your three breaths of reality, now take flight back into your darkness, crime, and madness .
@ Joe… Go woke and stick your fingers where they don’t belong… learn a tough lesson.
Disney did this to themselves.
David; I understand what you are saying, but does the government have the right to retaliate against them for utilizing their right to say what they want??? Sure don’t spend your money there(as a consequence), but that isn’t what DeSantis is doing.
RIP Coach Mike Martin.
Hey Disney, I have always said, “Just because you have the right to say what you want, that does not mean you are free from the Consequences from WHAT you say”.
